(CNN) -- (CNN) -- Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared Saturday after air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane, the airline said.

"At the moment we have no idea where this aircraft is right now," Malaysia Airlines Vice President of Operations Control Fuad Sharuji said on CNN's "AC360."

PS: Also there's a lot of sensation everywhere regarding the disappearance of the airplane over immediate lost contact, especially where Malaysia Airlines are one of the safest airliner out here in the world and the reliability of Boeing 777.

Trivia: This incident are the worst Malaysian aviation history since Malaysian Airlines System Flight 653 that was hijacked by unknown organization and the first major incident on the Boeing 777 without any pilot error.

-suicide by pilot ? (pretty extreme , I doubt very much this was the case with these pilots)

-terrorism , they might've tried to crash into building in Singapore but then terrorists lost control over the plane ?

-cockpit window exploded due to being produced faulty and they desperataly tried to return ? (similar to Southwest Airlines and the hole in the roof , wear/tear can be dangerous if not noticed)

Still horrible and I hope they'll get to the bottom of this.

-Suicide by Pilots? very unlikely.

-Terrorism? FBI and CIA didn't rule out Terrorism because there's 2 person who was board with stolen passport, But the Malaysian government are denying any Terrorism because the suspect were under Asylum.

-Cockpit Window Exploded? I will say in my opinion I will give 70% right about this one, this airplane had a few incidents in the past so there may be a faulty repair that didn't notice. and you may be right about trying to return to Malaysia over technical fault during the flight.

Thank you for your prayers and post guys, I have a feeling that this mystery will resolve soon.

According to the latest press conference 30 minutes ago, the plane is confirmed was hijacked by an unknown person who have experience to fly an aircraft.

According to Malay Mails:

KUALA LUMPUR, March 15 — Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 was hijacked, a local official who is part of the investigation into its disappearance confirmed today.

But the unnamed official said it was still unknown why the Beijing-bound plane with 239 onboard was taken over after it departed Kuala Lumpur International Airport on March 8.

“It is conclusive,” the official told the Associated Press when asked about a possible hijacking.

Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post today reported that the hijacker might be one of the pilots or at least someone else with flying experience.

This comes as news agency AFP quoted a senior military official saying that Malaysian officials now believe that MH370 may have been deliberately turned towards the Indian Ocean by someone with up-to-date knowledge of flying and radar positions.

The co pilot was younger, correct?The other was a more experienced man though I suppose it could be either. How sad. I hope deep down that they landed somewhere remote, but I know the reality. How horrible. Those poor people. And the families! OMG what a roller coaster ride! I couldn't imagine.

This is a mysterious case,and very fishy to me. It seems almost too planned and timed, the flight going off course and turning the transponder off deliberatly raises flags. that all communication,even that of the passengers all cut off.

I dont believe it is terrorists,but something more professional. Either someone on board is crucial,or the plane is carrying something sought after.

Also Malyasian airforce reports of an unidentified aircraft flying next to it before disappearance makes me think it was escorted. I truely believe that this plane is on the ground somewhere and the passengers are being held. They should search all airfields and ports in the search zone.

EDIT: I forgot to mention I am praying for the safety of all aboard and the families and people having to deal with this tragedy.

Here are my thoughts:

1. The investigation has been a joke. As soon as the plane went missing like it did they should have had people investigating every single person on that flight. There are some people's families that still have never been contacted at all. Also reports claim that no one even investigated the pilot's homes until recently although the Malaysian government are trying to say that is not true.

2. Someone knows more details about where the plane went. Probably not exactly, but I would think the United States has details they are not releasing. USA has the ability to look for thermal read outs around the world to see if nuclear weapons are being developed.

3. A three man crew from a space station landed in Kazakhstan on the 11th. The plane went missing on the 8th. I realize that is a few days off, but it seems like if they can track a space capsule landing in Kazakhstan then there are satellites tracking that area of the world.

4. I'm not sure if correspondence is recorded, but they say the pilot checked in after the flight messaging system was turned off. Has there been a specialist to check the pilot's voice for distress or any other signs? Also how can they determine the flight messaging system was turned off and why couldn't they have determined that when it first happened compared to a week later?

You nailed it, They (MAS and the Government) couldn't give out the right explanation to the public, every press conference that they made just made me confused the hell out of me.

My father complaint over the investigation they do, it's like all the other country doing search and rescue for nothing out there, it just wasting a lot of time just heads out without any clue or sign at all, until they publicly said that the plane might fly towards the west and the plane "was" hijacked.

For me now it just 60% lack of leadership and control and 40% is just a mystery.

Yeah, there has been way too much speculation without any real hard evidence. While I would love to find out that they are all alive and will someday make their way home, I just don't feel confident in that scenario.

i agree.. when i see that countrys officials, they look so lost. so sad for all those people on that plane

I saw on the evening news tonight that a woman, a mother, was so upset and she was crying and asking where her son is. It looked like the police came and moved the mother into another room away from cameras and held them there for a bit.

I think that the goverment doenst know what to do and I think others are needed to help with this. The families need closure.

Prolly personal crisis leading to suicide by the pilot......he turned off transponder to make it seem like hijacking so that his memory by other people would be positive.

I'm not so sure about that. From what I have read the likely scenario is that the plane has lost cabin pressure resulting in the plane running on auto pilot and it simply ran out of fuel. Until they find the black boxes we may never know what really happened.

Update - It would appear that the plane went down around 2,500 kilometers of the west coast of Australia.

In the states we havent heard that. We heard that it could be debris but they dont have a visual yet.
